    10/18/25 French toast, eggs
    Stacey S.

    8/29/26. Tried some new to me dishes today. Last time I had the Greek roasted chicken, very tasty, but too oily. So I opted for the braised short ribs ($29.45). They were so tender and delicious. Next time I will have them separate the vegetables and potatoes though. Don't sleep on the potato salad!! Chicken parm ($28.95) was surprisingly good. Sauce was flavorful and the penne was cooked perfectly. Ended the meal with wonderful cheesecake ($8). Nice portions. Easily one of my top 3 diners on Long Island. And I had the best waiter there today, Greg.

    Adorable nautically themed art everywhere!

    Lovely service, very friendly crowd and wait staff, plenty of check-ins to see that we had everything we needed, super clean bathrooms, delicious breakfast food and we can't wait to visit again soon!

    Great salad selection for a diner! Huge menu in general. I ordered the Lana special and the portion was very filling. I also appreciated that they had many healthy options as well as traditional diner food. The place is massive so there were plenty of places to sit. Service overall was decent.

    After going to many diners in the area you would wonder why the hell haven't I come here sooner. As first timers here we sat in a comfortable booth and couldn't stop looking at all of the amazing food passing us. It was a clean place and spacious. To start we got some hot chocolates with whipped cream and they were so good. I saw that they had a special for mimosas 2 for 1 and I also got that. I ordered a veggie omelette with home fries and toast it was good made well. My boyfriend ordered a breakfast platter and he also enjoyed his food! Our server was good he checked up on us and made sure we were good.

    Even though this dinner is so close to my house, this is my first time here. There was a short wait but my guest and I were seated exactly during the 10 minute wait period. The diner is much larger than it appeared because there were smaller rooms in every corner making it quieter than one large space. The selection was plentiful and we started with a Bellini and Mimosas. My salmon burger was well seasoned and the fries were perfect. I would definitely recommend coming here. Good service, great food and clean.

    Pretty straight forward diner with multiple different items on the menu. Clean and nice looking interior. Ordered the wings and Matzah ball soup. Forgot to take photos of the wings but they were so good! The soup was good too. I got the bowl which was bigger than a small size. They close late so I Will definitely return back!

    I returned to Imperial Diner after a few month hiatus and had myself a bit of a late breakfast. Even though it was well past noon, they kept my coffee cup filled to the tip with frequent refills, which was awesome and much appreciated. I ordered the breakfast platter with bacon. My overeasy eggs were perfectly cooked and the home fries were just the right amount of golden brown. I even busted out my laptop for about 15-20 minutes after I finished my food and they still kept refilling my coffee. I asked if it was okay and they assured me to take my time and that the laptop wasn't a problem. Talk about neighborly! It's great having such an awesome diner in my backyard. Can't wait to be back!

    My friend wanted something for her birthday and it had to be sweet. What could be better than to grab something from a diner? "Imperial Diner" to be exact. Let me give you the details. Parking is mostly in the back, but that's not a bad thing. The on the outside, stood out. However, the inside spoke volumes. It was modern on the inside and very clean. With how busy it was I was surprised how clean actually. But I knew, whatever I ordered I would have to wait, so I looked over the desserts as soon as possible. They had a huge selection of desserts to choose from, ice cream, cakes, and pies. I chose the cheesecake because it is my favorite. I knew I would at least get half (I know that's selfish, but it looked so good). I placed the order and then waited a bit. Finally I took it and left. When I presented it, she was excited. But not more than me, because I did get half. I'm happy to report, it was delicious! The strawberry glaze was incredible, the cheesecake was fluffy and cool, and the base tasted like gram cracker. I truly enjoyed it. So I have to go back. I mean, I know plenty of people with birthdays coming up. They may like pie, or ice cream, or chocolate cake.....

    Chicken & Waffles Benny

    Went with my family to celebrate a few birthdays over brunch. First let's start with the excellent service. We walked in Saturday afternoon around 12:30 and were sat right away. My Dad is in a wheelchair and they were very accommodating and made it easy for us to get him in. They gave us a big table that was connected to a booth so everyone was comfortable and he was able to participate and be part of the day. Our waiter couldn't have been nicer. He was attentive and friendly, checking on us throughout the meal. We had a 7 year old with us who could get restless, and the waiter was so patient with him. We had a great chat about spending time with family and how important that is. The food - the brunch menu is huge with plenty of options for everyone. They have a '2 for 1' brunch cocktail special, so my sister and I shared the mimosa (she was driving). In addition to the brunch menu, they also have a regular menu with all the diner options. There was a kid menu which seemed like a steal. My nephew got pancakes with bacon, eggs, ham, a drink - all for $10! I had the Chicken & Waffles Benny which was really good. Buttermilk Battered Boneless Chicken, Two Mini Waffles, Two Poached Eggs, and Hollandaise. A little sweet, a little salty! My brother in law got the breakfast burrito which was massive (pic doesn't do it justice). We all enjoy the food and left stuffed. The manager popped by to check on us and see how everything was going. Nice touch! Prices are about average with most entrees being about $18-20. One minor nitpick - I love homefries, but the ones served here seem like they are from a bag in the frozen food section. Sprinkling of tiny diced peppers and onions mixed in made me think they didn't make this. Had better. Otherwise all was perfect!

    Home fries

    Ordered breakfast from here for delivery. I ordered the apple cinnamon infused pancakes with a side of potatoes, turkey sausage, and a fried egg. Everything was delicious. The pancakes are huge! Definitely a shareable dish. The turkey sausage was juicy. Often times restaurant turkey sausage can be dry, but this wasn't the case. You should definitely order from here or dine in if you're in the area. I'll definitely order from here again.

    Ask the Community - Imperial Diner

    Is it typical to ask your patrons if they would like refills on their drinks and then charge them?

    Did they specifically use the word "refill"? Or did they ask if you'd like another? In my experience, they've only asked if I (or other members of my party) would like another of whatever they were drinking.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

The party package included a great virarity of food to pick from. I have different friends with different food preferences so the wide options to pick from really helped me plan a party for everyone to enjoy The bartenders who worked my party, John and Mel were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made GREAT drinks.

The BNB also provides card games and a dart board inside which makes the atmosphere lively and fun. I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Thank you, Bourbon & Brews, for helping make my birthday celebration so memorable!

So we could've sat at a table during our time. - We only ordered appetizers which took almost 45 minutes to come out. - I ordered fish tacos which tasted like the fish wasn't seasoned and mafinated at all.

We came here on a date night because we heard nothing but great reviews on this place. We were seated by a very unpleasant hostess who made it known she did not want to be there at all. We waited for a while for a server to come up to us to get our drink order, but that never happened. I was reluctant to leave at first, but then noticed that there was another table across from us a family of four with two kids who were having the same problem too. They waited patiently as we were, but no one was around to serve us because they were all standing at the bar being loud and goofing around. At that point I had enough and we walked out. I have now read the most recent reviews on this establishment after I left and I should have done that before we came here. A lot of unpleasant reviews have been posted for the past six months about this place. So apparently there's a reason why I had the experience I did as everyone else did recently.
